It's a difference of, like, $15-20 per month, though. It's annoying, but certainly not worth getting outraged over.

Most people in are country have less than 2K in liquid savings. A couple extra bucks a month that they can't really cut back on pushes them even closer to the already too close edge of insolvency.

Every $1 rise in gas prices is probably around a $1K hit to the disposable income of a normal median family. On a median household income of $60K you are talking 2% of post tax income and probably 3% of post tax, post housing income.

Given a $2 increase since Biden took office you’ve taken away 6% of purchasing power before even considering inflation
